POP.
Manufacturing Bottled Bevernges
and How they are Made.
Yesterday was ''making day" at F..
Schnauber's soda water manufacturing
institution and . reporter in passing that
way heard the noise OF escaping gas and
upon investigating found several men
hard at work, making and bostling pop.
Pop, as it is valgarly called, achieved Its
name from the noise which the cork
makes when it is allowed TO leave the
bottle. This drink, when pains are
taken in its manufacture, is perfectly
harmless, and is very refreshing.
The ingredients are water,
~lavoring extracts, sugar and car
boncic acid gas, with the gas in
very small quantities. In the manufac-
ture. much skill is required and Q sue
cessful man always receives good wages.
Th~eamachinery used in the manufac-
ture consists Of caldrons of various d.
mensione, and in Mr.. Schnanbes's esta-
blisLment three OF these are in use. The
material used for these three 10 iron,
lined with lead and block tin, and their
capacity is twenty three gallons zach.
The first step in the manufacture is the
generation of the gas, which is done by
E1ftor hols erlI own nf Tho founspn -
boilers. with marble dust, to which water
! is added. Then from a tank on the top
acid is admitted. The acid immediately
generates gas. the generation being ex-
pedited by the turning Of .
crank from the outside which thorough
ly mixes these three ingredients.
After generation the gas escapes in.
TO o second fountain, where il is
thoroughly washed in clean water, and
from the second fountain it escapes to q
third where it is rinsed and from thencs
1t is put into the bottles. The atate-
ment that the gas is washed and rinsed
sounds rather out OF place hot this is 9
fact. The gas is admitted into the
fountain at the bottom and being
lighter than water passes through the
water to the empty space in the sop OF
the fountain. The amount of gas
generated must Le carefully noted and q
guage which registers the pounds PRES
sure is one feature OF the machinery.
After the gas is cleansed the bot
thing begins andthis process par
ticularly as interesting, while it Is
going on the first sight Of
the gas is afforded the spectator. The
water which is impregnated with water
is allowed access TO the bottles at Che
same time with the hsyorIDR by o combin.
alton tube. The mixture in entering the
bottles makes q fzzing noise which lie
suggestive Of much strength aud after
the cork is inserted the man who hand
les the bottles keeps his thumb
pressed tight upon the cork until the
wire cap Is adjusted. One OF these oerks
has been known to fly. out suddenly, and
striking a man in the eye, leave its mark,

and the next day after Its manufacture
the drink is for sale in many places, and
soon the bottles are returned for an.
